New YORK, March Z6th, 1881.
What would be the first and most
NO, thought of crowd OF young
n 10 ,oars seeing New York for the
90. ,;,,e-an of whom were arden
o..b,ners at Thalia's temple, and
t sS greater part of whom were members
W o,ock amateur society? What but
.hostres? To the theatres then our

pa 40 our feet were planted on metro
'o .,;,.n soil and looking up and down
$3.50 %n orouded amusement columns of the
H. T.,SH and World we luxurlated with
tbo feelings of the epiGure, over the
;.set Of fat things from which we merely
had IN make our choice.
That was eight days ago and IN those
eight days We have done thirteen or
foTrtaen theatres, the Wednesday
and Saturday malinees, and sometimes

tho same nIght-When the show at the
6rst Was not sufficiently temptlng-en-
abling us 10 double up. We were Tor
tunste in seeking New York II pros
-perous season, when several events
were "on," which have not been
euualed for briliancy and strong sue
cess for years past. The most magnlh-
cent Of all was surely
TIE OPERA OF NERO
performed at the great Metropolitan,
by Mrs. Thurber's widely advertised
National Opera Company, successors to
the American. The spectacle of full
dress audience in this house; the three
immense ross of boxes filed With the
loW-necked, Short-sleeved, diamond be-
spangled families of Vanderbilt, Sage
Gould, Hilton, Van Rensselaer, and Ine
went in to build this great temple of
the art; the electric lights blazing every
where, the spade tails flying on all
hands, the heavy incense OF ho1ers-is
one in itself worth the SO it cost to glare
down from the fourth gallery
above. When to this is added
the sight of Theodore Thomas,
waving his baton over seventy
musicians IN the orchestra, the sound
OF the harm0nieS they send upward,
The sight OF $50 rchly-dressed people
on the stage, sixty of whom form a
magnificent ballet, the ocean OF sound
Their voices and the instruments united
makes, the sight of such stars stepping

soprano, and Ludwig the baritone,
nyron Whitney the basso, Fessenden

oasI-one grows to wonder how much
money MIS-. Thurber must have TO con.
